Business plans pay more for phone upgrades

I was shopping for a Droid2 upgrade for one of my 5 lines. Found a good deal from an online vendor for $80 only to be told that they do not sell upgrades for business plans. Verizon charges $150 for the same phone. What gives??

Vendors recieve a commission when they re-up someone's contract, and some online vendors choose to pass some of that commission on to your as savings to attract your business.  I suspect that the commissions on business and personal lines are not the same, so they do not choose to offer their services for business accounts.

    It appears the 15" 2.2 ghz isn't worth spending $400 more for, but you get the 1GB Radeon 6750M that has four times the VRAM than the 15" 2.0Ghz model and about 167% more performance. High settings on all current games with over 50 fps.
    If your not into 3D gaming or just light weight, then the 2.0 Ghz (last years performance) will suffice on low-medium settings at about 30 fps.
    The 13" is rather poor as it has integrated graphics. 30 fps on only some games.
    The high res screen is a excellent choice and the anti-glare is great for viewing just about anywhere.
    No messy films to replace at $30-$40 a pop.
    A lot of people bring the glossy screens back once they hear about the anti-glare.

    Here's my 17"
    In my opinion the extra $400 for another 2-3 years of use out of the computer is worth it.
    Quad cores are more than enough for most uses for most people for many years, it's just a slow card is going to make the machine feel slow in rendering graphics in the future.

  • Why did I have to pay MORE for a smaller microwave that I bought due to exchanging a defective one?

    I bought at Sharp 1.3CU microwave on January 18th, 2014, which went bad today. I took it back to the store for a exchange. Upon entering the store, carrying this microwave, I got to stand in line for about 3 minutes, holding this microwave. Understandable, if I wasn’t the only person in line. Three associates were at the desk, one was on the phone, one was a Geek Squad member, the third scribbling on a sheet of paper. At least two of them made eye contact with me while I stood in the rope line, all alone, holding onto a microwave. So, finally about 2-3 minutes later, an associate makes time for me. The exchange process went well, since the item was still under warranty. I was told that there was no inventory of the one I was returning, so I could get store credit to get a different one. I thought this was strange, the store credit, as she was able to print off a copy of my original receipt because I used my BB credit card for the purchase. In any case, I took my credit and went back to appliances. I found what I thought was the same exact model I just returned. Having worked in retail myself in the past, I knew that at times the computer isn’t always accurate to what’s on the shelf. A young man working in this area was super helpful and carried it up for me. I wish I got his name, because he was awesome. Now, for the best part. I got a new microwave, same brand, same color, same style, but .2CU smaller than the one I just returned…and HAD TO PAY MORE for this smaller microwave than I did for the larger one…so not only did my microwave crap out in less than 60 days, but I had to pay more for a smaller one…doesn’t make much sense…

    Hello RyanJustice,
    In my house, a microwave is a must have!  I am a popcorn fiend, and I can’t imagine having to go without one for a long period of time.  While we may not have had your exact model in stock, I’m glad to see we had a microwave that was quite similar to the one you originally purchased. I can see how a price difference might be confusing though, especially as the replacement was slightly smaller than you initially bought.  I’m sorry for the frustration this has caused.
    When units like yours fail under manufacturer’s warranty, we usually either send them out for service or exchange right in-store. If we exchange a unit, typically a refund via store credit would be issued up to the purchase price. From here, it may be redeemed towards the purchase of a new one.  However, we can’t process a refund exceeding the original purchase price, and if the current model you chose was more expensive, additional payment would be required.  This means that if your original microwave was on sale for less than the current price of the new one, you would be subject to paying the remaining balance.
    If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
    Enjoy that new microwave!

  • HT4914 I have about 70,000 songs, almost all of them are MP3s burned from CDs. Is there a way to increase the 25,000 song limit in iTunes Match, by paying more, for example?

    I have about 70,000 songs, almost all of them are MP3s burned from CDs. Is there a way to increase the 25,000 song limit in iTunes Match, by paying more, for example?

    Right now the limit is what it is, 25,000 tracks. Tracks purchased from the iTunes Store do not count against that number. Whether Apple has any plans to increase that limit none of us here, who are all just fellow users, will know. We'll have to wait and see.

  • WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????

    WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????
    OR IS IT JUST LAZYINESS THAT YOU CHANGE THE DOLLAR SIGN FOR THE POUND?

    it obviously doesn't, but then again some people or organisation only care about price when it comes to purchasing their laptops, and it is hard to justify making a special model for a selected few.
    Sure everything can be done if there is a market for it, but Lenovo won't know how large the market is before hand, as such they are hedging a bet by not moving with the market (which Lenovo have done on many occasions). I guess the finanical return is not the worth the risk for Lenovo to keep the 4:3 or 16:10 screens.
    But this debate has been going back and forth for a long time, so no point bringing it up again and again.

  • Why does Adobe believe Australians should pay more for software?

    Why does Adobe believe Australians should pay more for software?
    For Photoshop and premier elements bundle in the USA price is USD $119.99
    For Australia AUD $185.00 which at the current exchange rate of 1.067 is USD $173 or 44% more.
    Thanks Adobe.

    seeing its only a software download, then why should we have to pay $15 more for the same product? we already are charged extra for music now we're being slugged for software as well.... maybe an apple exec could give me a reason on this question...
    This is a peer-to-peer forum. If you want a response from Apple, you would have to contact them directly with such a question. A better question might be what are the direct and indirect duties and fees (Goods and Services Tax, Import Tax/Tariff, sales taxes, etc.) assessed by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service and/or local tax agencies and/or municipalities for intellectual properties imported electronically. There may be quite a few agencies wanting a piece of your pie.

    SMS is exchanged over the same network as calls - no data involved.
    MMS requires data.
    iMessage requires the same as email - internet access via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular data network.
    You can disable SMS/MMS altogther with your account by requesting this with AT&T. You can turn iMessage off unless your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network.

  • Price for phone upgrade without new contract

    If I am eligible for a new phone upgrade, but not signing a new contract what price would I be paying for the new device?

    it is whether you want a contract or not:
    no contract, full price phone, but get $15 or $25 month2month discount every month
    2 yr contract, subsidized phone, no monthly discount. 
    even though you pay more up front, no contract with monthly discount is cheaper over 2 years the buying the reduced price phone under contract If you have 10GB of data or more.  Calculate the full 2 year costs before making a decision. 

  • T400 question: get 2765T6U or pay more for LED screen & misc

    Hello,
    I'm planning to buy the T400 but got a quick question for you guys. I found the T400 2765T6U at Provantage for about $1200. 
    Unfortunately, this model only comes with a CCFL screen and a few missing features (multiple card reader for example). I then went to Lenovo and configured the Enhanced T400 model with the features I wanted and ended up with $1400 (after a 10% off coupon).
    Do you guys think it's worth it paying $200 for the LED screen, a slightly faster CPU, a bigger HD (though slower), and a 7-1 reader? All the other features are exactly the same as the 2765T6U.
    Thanks in advance!!

    You could try this model: 2765-33U
    http://www.provantage.com/lenovo-276533u~7LENO10Y.htm
    It is like the 2765-T6U but it has LED WXGA+ screen and 9 cell battery.
    The only problem is that it is a "special order" so you may have to wait longer for it to ship (as they do not have it ready in inventory).
    Try looking at the tabook.pdf for more models. To get tabook, just google "tabook" and download the .pdf from the IBM website.

  • Why pay more for something which can be free? EA4500

    Why does Cisco provide only DynDNS and TZO.com for DDNS services in their routers?  DynDNS is no more a free service and TZO.com has been acquired by DynDNS. Basically no 2nd option there.
    I have been using Http://www.no-ip.com/   for my IP camera and it has worked great for years. And its been and is still free.
    Found a few other free DDNS services which are recommended by others.
    http://www.dnsdynamic.org/
    http://www.changeip.com/
    http://freedns.afraid.org/
    Here is a site which lists a long list of similar services. Http://demonologies/dynamic-DNS/
    Why does Cisco customers have to fork out more money when free alternatives are there? Why do I as an owner of one of Cisco's top models (EAI) have to spend more to use a feature, which owners of   Symantec, Sonicwall, D-Link, SMC, Toshiba, Draytek and other cheaper model routers enjoy the same feature for free? (There is "NO-iP.COM" DDNS service option in these routers.)  People have to be dumb to pay more after already paying a premium for Cisco routers.
    Hope this is not the last Cisco router or product I will own. Hope to see more GOOD DNS options in Cisco firmware soon. 

    As far as I know, most or if not all Cisco devices that has the DDNS option was tied-up either with TZO or DynDNS before and now down to DynDNS. Perhaps TZO/DynDNS are the ones tied up with Cisco? It may not be possible though that it will be embedded on the firmware a newer support for DDNS but who knows.

  • I recently upgraded by business catalyst to webCommerce but now my old muse website will only show up as a Webbasics , how to upgrade my old site without paying again for BC upgrade?

    I can start new website in BC, but my old one that I had up and running will not 'link' to my upgraded BC package

    This is because it really only supports the features in that. It does not handle all the layout features etc. You can fudge your way using it to build with the higher plans but it does not have access to a lot of the features. So you need to be aware of that.

  • Which plan is best for Student upgrading from CS4?

    I'm a student who has previously purchased CS4 design premium. I want to upgrade to Adobe CC but I'm not sure which plan will give more savings in the long term. The student plan is cheapest but only for the first year, after that the terms states it will revert back to the "then standard price"?. The individual plan for previous CS owners is also slightly cheaper than the current standard pricing but there is no time limit. So which subscription plan is better?Which

    Hi Bev,
    Thanks for your reply. I did not see the individual offer for Adobe CC also
    reverts back to the standard price after one year (not stated clearly in
    the terms).
    In that case, the student version would be best for me. Can I just upgrade
    from my current CS4 student version now? I've already downloaded the trial
    for Photoshop and Illustrator. Or do I need to submit all my student docs
    again to qualify?
    Thanks & Regards

  • How to prepare for phone upgrade with manually managed music

    I have an iPhone 5 and I am strongly considering upgrading to the iPhone 5s. The trouble is that I have manually managed all of the music on my phone: I dragged and dropped every song I wanted from our iTunes library to my phone. I like to keep my phone private, thus I don't sync my photos, books, or ringtones in iTunes either. There are also a lot of extraneous contacts and such on the computer that I wish to avoid deleting from my phone. How can I retain my information when switching to a new phone?

    Hi,
    In my case I installed AP3 and honestly no crashes or major issues other than some slowness in AP3 but I see it's been solved with the updates and my workflow maybe helping too.
    I run a managed AP3 library on a fast external drive connected via eSATA card to my MBP.
    In your case I would say add more RAM (never hurts) although 2GB should be ok for now.
    Leave your AP3 Library on the main drive and reference your files that exist on the second internal drive.
    When importing, you have a choice as to leave in current location(so referenced)
    or have AP manage library.
    As far as the size of your library at 286GB, it my be a good idea to install another internal drive in the Mac Pro.
    So
    drive 1) Boot drive with OS and all your apps.
    drive 2) AP3 Library
    drive 3) Original RAW files that your AP3 library can reference-as long as you tell AP to reference the files upon import.
    eventually maybe a 2 TB external drive (usually made of 2x1TB drives in one enclosure)
    and this external can be used to back up your AP3 library on one drive and your original RAW files on the second drive.

    I hope this helps but lets see what others may advise.

  • Really? I'm paying more for this?

    Since 'upgrading' our speed, we have had nothing but problems across the board. It started with being told we had to home for a router switch.... No one showedoff course. Told thatnight that dispatch changed the ticket, we didn't need a new router, but no one thought to tell us that. 
    Fast forward 2 weeks. We have sporadic at best connectivity, and all TVs have lost their menus. Rep told us their tests indicate a problem with the box in the basement. Service call yesterday 8-11. NO SHOWS again. Every time i called for an update, 4 times total, I got the famous,I'll call dispatch and call you back. Still haven't heard from anyone. ...
    Supposedly someone will be here today between 1-3. We'll see how that goes.
    Comcast may have had crap service, but at least they showed up when they said they would.
